Guys, news from my Ant Family!
So my ant family lives with us for about 1,5 year. In the beginiing we had just 10 of them (their mother Ant Queen and her 10-12 kids).
Now we've an Ant Kingdom!:))
We created a new bigger house for them because the first one became too small.
We've made it with our 3d-printer, and the design was developed by us as well.
it seemed we made a comfortable and good house for them.
And it was rerally so!
Until...we put sand there...It was interesting and useful for them, but not for us;))
Ant are great builders, and they used sand for creating tall huge pyramids and hills inside of their new Ant House:))
It's not bad if we don't open their house. But we need to clean it, to give them food, water...and it's IMPOSSIBLE to do now because they are too close to the top and run away at once;))
It's a real Ant Escape;))
Ok...we bought Anti-Escape liquid in the marketplace. Reviews were fine, and the seller promised ant wouldn't run through the place where we would leave some drops of it. It's special oils that would stop them.
Ok...But it did NOT work at all!
I put a lot of this oil around the entrance to the Ant House and then tried to open it..... And you know what??
Nothing!
Ants just were running away like it was nothing bad for them around.
Yeah they didn't like their legs were sticked with this oil, but they were NOT afraid of it at all!
I had to catch them all by hands and returned them to their Mom again;)
You know, they feel lost without their family, and they can't live long without connection with the Ant Queen.
So....the problem wasn't solved....
Maybe you know another way out?:)
